Elon Musk has sent a truckload of necessary equipment for his Starlink service to Ukraine, at the request of a government minister.
With the country’s telecommunications infrastructure under attack by the Russian air force, maintaining connectivity to the internet is challenging.
Starlink is a satellite internet service which Musk’s company SpaceX has pioneered to provide universal internet access to the world through saturating low Earth orbit with hundreds of tiny satellites.
The Starlink hardware includes a satellite dish that connects to a wireless router. All that is needed is a standard wall plug for power.
It took Elon just 10 hours following the request of Ukrainian Vice Minister Mykhailo Fedorov to ensure the service was active across all of Ukraine, and to prepare a shipment of additional Starlink terminals, which arrived on Feb. 28th.
